Interview with The Poster Collective

I answered eight questions over at the Poster Collective. You can read the answers (and the questions, helpfully) here.

Interview with the Poster Collective (2012)

Adobe Design For Impact

I was chosen by Adobe as one of four international ‘design heroes’ to present a selection of my work and discuss design and layout, at a live web conference in Singapore. It’s quite a design-focused chat rather than a film-focused one, but we talk about the processes behind Animal Kingdom and Burning Man at some length, and also touch on the joys of marketing, typography and how Photoshop saved my life.

Interview for MUBI’s Poster of the Week

Adrian Curry had already given some very kind reviews of my work before, so when he decided to highlight the Burning Man poster in his regular column, he asked me for a few words about it. Naturally I gave him a few hundred.

The Canberra Times

Bit of a surprise this one. I had no idea, but it looks like an interesting exhibition. Piece is here.

The Pragmatic Art of Poster Design

Interview with Encore Magazine where four of Australia’s key art designers are asked about the future of key art.  I forgot to bring along any punctuation. For what it’s worth, the points I was stumbling drunkenly toward were these: that key art is still vital as the most concise, succinct distillation of the film, whatever its physical form is; and that the rationale for key art can no longer be ‘to sell tickets’ in an age where trailers, synopses and reviews — generally far, far better indicators of whether a film is worth your investigation than an image could ever be — are only ever a couple of keystrokes away…

Interview with SBS

As he tells it, “the film industry is small and everybody is closely interconnected. As soon as you do something good, and I’m sure as soon as you do something bad, everybody has found out about it. Things snowballed from there really.”

Interview with the Sydney Morning Herald

JEREMY SAUNDERS has no trouble finding hanging space for his latest artworks. Generally there’ll be prints in scores of places all around the country. Creating film posters for the likes of Samson & Delilah, Little Fish, Balibo, Candy and Antichrist is a high-profile business … for at least a few weeks.

Interview with Trespass Magazine

And as somebody who has followed Saunders’ career, it’s not hard to guess that they will be adored by lovers of film posters around the world and he will continue to be “the Jeremy Saunders” who gets slightly embarrassed that his ticket-sellers are causing such a fuss.

How to sell Antichrist

Still, it got me thinking about some of my favourite posters this year, and seeing as three of them have been for the same film – Lars von Trier’s Antichrist – I thought I’d investigate further, and talk to some REAL experts (i.e. not you) about how Antichrist was sold around the world.

An interview with a number of designers about our Antichrist posters. Truly the campaign that wouldn’t die, somewhat appropriately. Click here.

Architect of Evil

Here’s an interview I did with Matt’s Movie Reviews about the Antichrist poster.

Cinetology Interview

“Regardless of whether it’s a physical poster, a graphic on a web page or a DVD cover, it’s still the most direct shorthand we have to describe the world of the film,” he says. “I don’t think that’s going to go away. At least I hope not because, you know, I’m crap at designing letterheads.”

Interview with Australian Edge

Jeremy Saunders arrived in Sydney from the UK in 2000, and has been working as a Key Art Designer on many of the big Australian films since. Designing posters for Candy, Little Fish, Suburban Mayhem, Macbeth and most recently for Samson & Delilah.

Interview with Inside Film (full version)

Jeremy Saunders is one of the best key art designers in the Australian film industry, and has designed posters for Suburban Mayhem, Candy, Little Fish, Romulus My Father, The Square and most recently contributed to the art for Dying Breed.

Interview with Design Federation

From self taught deviant Artist, to producing posters for some of Australia’s biggest films, Jeremy Saunders lets us inside his mental space. Be warned; Photoshop and LE are mentioned in the same sentence!

Last Night with Riviera

Matt Riviera has some lovely things to say about me and my work. Which is nice.
